"Lost" languages to be resurrected

amazing what technology does for us now a days

that is nifty!!! I wonder what the ancients have written down...

Oh this is something my Husband mentioned to me last week about this. How amazing is technology nowdays.

opening the door to "resurrecting" ancient texts that are no longer understood if this the case then how do you know if the computer translated correctly

This is something interesting, I learned a new name of a language, and want to know more about it haha awesome

It would be very interesting to see with my own eyes, the program in action, on a language with no known relations with other languages, although I'd be skeptical in the literal translation of what the program spits out. As it is a program I am assuming it might come with its own host of issues that might crop up, i.e. (*error in traslation, please shut down and restart again*) Nice read IMO.

There is programs that reconstruct proto-languages. Ives Goddard's department at Smithsonian reconstructed Proto-Algonquian using this program. Cool stuff but I'm crappy in the linguistic department. Lapiche
